Want Sugar With Your Spice?

“But,” you say, “other services do this for me. Why use Calaméo?” A couple of weeks ago, our ministry’s digital “Spiritual Pilgrimage” project compelled me to seek such a service. I’d experimented with similar tools (including the popular Issuu), and was growing discouraged.

All of a sudden, I discovered Calaméo, which sold me on its ease of use and features:

If Martha is willing to put in five extra minutes and can draw a square, she can add links or even YouTube videos to the bulletin. (It’s really that easy.)

The Possibilities

Imagine taking full advantage of & promoting interactive bulletins. If your pastor records a video version of his weekly reflection, Martha could add it to the bulletin. She could link to your parish PayPal account for online donations. She might link announcements [diocesan, parish group, outside apostolate] to the accompanying organization’s webpage. Your sponsors could even pay a bit more to have their ad turned into a hyperlink that directly connects readers with their website or Facebook page! Bottom line: Your bulletin can become more interesting, interactive, and accessible.

Nerd Alert

Calaméo’s cutting-edge. It’s the first service of its kind compatible with Apple devices. Now, its team is Beta testing a new reader which allows you to track views using Google Analytics, easier sharing via Facebook and Twitter, and overall cleaner design. Testers are excited. (So am I!)
